Obviously we have 2 very different cars electronically, but when I installed mine I had zero issues! Popped it in, reinstalled the air box and fired it right up. No security relearn needed, no CEL, no CASE relearn.

I can say I love mine, and it made a hell of a difference in acceleration. Here's my updated 0-60 vid (actually went up to 65).

As you can see in my thread from the original install date, I installed mine myself, and then took it to a shop for the relearn. It's not that expensive to get the relearn done, and everything was great once I got the relearn done.

Go through the ignition process explained in my write up, and that should take care of your traction control light (if it's on). The engine light should go out after the relearn.

Good luck.
